Problem
New parents often lack continuous, medically reliable insight into their infant’s vital signs while the baby sleeps, leading to anxiety and delayed response to health events such as low oxygen or abnormal heart rate. Traditional monitors provide limited data and no actionable alerts, making safe sleep management difficult.
Solution
Owlet offers a suite of smart baby‑monitoring products—including the Dream Sock®, Dream Duo™ (sock + camera), and Dream Sight™ video monitor—that continuously measure pulse rate and oxygen saturation using clinically validated pulse‑oximetry sensors. The devices transmit encrypted data to the Owlet Dream App, where real‑time health notifications are generated for low/high pulse or low oxygen levels. Integrated sleep‑trend analytics and Predictive Sleep technology use machine‑learning algorithms to forecast optimal sleep windows and identify deviations from typical patterns. Parents can view live video, motion, sound, and cry detection, as well as sleep‑position and comfort‑temperature data, all from a single mobile interface. Optional Owlet360™ subscription unlocks deeper, personalized insights and comparative benchmarks across a large infant health dataset, helping caregivers make informed decisions about their baby’s wellbeing.
